Excuse me, but my life is waiting.

This post in written in response to mr mimosa’s past and latest contributions to this blog with regard to male chauvinism.

Below is an excerpt of the article he used in one of his comments.

“To see a woman paid less than a man for the same work, but over here, we are not talking about fantasies, we are in the real world.”

Not that I think that MCPs are the scum of the earth, I do find certain aspects of their behavior and ideology very disturbing. While I have held my tongue previously, certain events have made me come realisation that silence is not always golden.

While it cannot be denied that discrimination occurs, surely it does not mean that we should condone it? Reality is only real if we act out what we believe in. It is real only if you make it real. For men to constantly brag about how great they are, and how women should always be one step behind them only serves to perpetuate such discrimination. Naturally, however, there will never be a willing party to give up power. Men want to promulgate such discrimination because of their selfish desire to remain in power…not for any other reason. Women at work are constantly faced with “glass ceilings”. They are unable to progress any further not because they are incompetent, but because men don’t want to share their power. Tell me, honestly, how many female MPs do we have? Considering the demographics, I would say women are ridiculously under-represented in the Cabinet.

Many men make the mistake of believing that the currently status quo is reasonable, good and hence should be maintained because they do not suffer the inconveniences and limitations in society that women do. Of course, if you are experiencing the good life, you will not want to change anything.

While it is easy for those in power to tell those underfoot that they should accept their lot in life and toe the line, it is exceedingly difficult for the trodden to accept it. Therefore, is it thus wrong for women to hanker after equality? I don’t think so. May I know how men are inordinately superior to women? Apart from the obvious physical differences, I really cannot see how they are better. Are they smarter? Not necessarily. In fact, it has been scientificaly proven that men carry the looks, while women carry the intelligence gene. So, really…what’s the hoo-ha about?

It’s not about rivalry. It’s about equality. Based on the word “Chauvinist” alone, the idea of equality has already been thrown out of the window.

Women do not hate men because they are different. We hate men who think themselves superior when they are not.

How do u really know if someone loves you? Like really, really, genuinely love you? How would you know that he/she has no ulterior motive for being together with you?

Based on what assumptions can I determine that my sig. other is with me because of me, and not any other reason? Being there at the right time, at the right time, at the departure of an ex is not a good reason. Not to me, at least.

Can I still say he/she loves me if he/she is really good to me even though he/she shows a lack of respect for my friends and my family?? It’s hard to say love exists when respect is lacking.

In fact, it’s really quite difficult.

And we all know MCPs only respect men (most misguidedly, infuriatingly and unfortunately). They hold onto the mistaken belief that women are like children…to be seen and not heard.

So, in this inequal world of men and women where MCPs run amokk, can MCPs be said to know love?

Would you not respect the one you love???

Watched this reality show called “wife swap” on ctv yday…and at the end of the show, one of wives on the show mentioned to her husband that she loved him “unconditionally” and that she would “support [him] in whatever decision he made” because she “trusted him“. Even though he’s a complete jackass and is totally destroying the lives of his 2 daughters in pursuit of his own selfish dream.

*Pui*

Have I ever heard anyone say anything stupider than this? No.

** Fyi, the stupid man point-blank refuses to work (fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, they live on dole in an inefficient welfare state) with the most banal and ridiculous reason that “this is simply not me” and only wants to travel around US in a bus. Oh btw, the entire family lives in a bus and is constantly on the move. **

Why am i so riled up? Well, first off, love is definitely conditional. If it were unconditional, we would just fall in love in everybody and anybody. So that part of the silly wife’s claim is just plain wrong.

Second, even if you love someone, it doesn’t mean that you have to give in to every freaking whim and fancy that person desires. Why be a wife when you can just be a doormat? At least the description is more accurate. I just find it so infuriating when i see such weak women who let their hearts so completely rule over their heads.

I’m not saying that we should always just do what we want and that compromising is a bad thing. No. All i am saying is that when someone steps all over you and treats you just like some lousy doormat, it is obvious that he/she has total disregard and zero respect for you and your feelings. So then, does he/she love you as a person with opinions, needs and desires…or you because you are a doormat? And honestly, what’s the point of hanging around with such a loser who obviously cannot appreciate the preciousness of your sacrifice?

Lastly, the thing that I found most annoying was the part about “trust”. In my opinion, trust has to be earned. And in this case, it is obvious that the man is delusional. I hate it when people say things like “I trusted you…and look what happened?”. The signs are always there to tell you whether a person can be trusted. It’s just a matter of whether you have been paying attention. You can’t very well ignore all the signs that point to the fact that this person is irresponsible and then later point fingers. For example, if someone has a history of being late, i would never trust them to make it on time on their own. It just defies logic if you choose to “trust” the person to be punctual when 9 out of 10 he/she is late.

Ultimately, we have to take responsibility for our own lives and our own actions. So if you choose to trust someone instead of yourself to make decisions for you and get flak for it later, that’s just too bad.

woke up at 7am today. The earliest i have gotten up in the last 1 year or so. Wow. I am impressed with myself. And the best thing is, i have to keep it up. I’m officially screwed.

the air is really dry…and so my eyes have red spidery lines running through them. Someone should invent eye moisturiser. Damnit.

Guess what my dad bought me and my mom? Pepper spray. Amazing. And you would think that he should have bought this for me a few years back…when i was much younger, much more stupid and alot more naive. But oh well…

Anyhow, I was just doing some thinking and i have sort of come to the conclusion that murphy’s law really exists. The more you want something, the less likely you are going to get it.

Like my job for instance. I spent a grand total of 2 weeks of active searching and nothing, and i mean zilch, turned up. Everything that came along just doesn’t seem right. And then, when i decided that i had just about enough and take whatever that comes along, BANG! I get the job.

I bet Murphy must have been some real smart dude…cuz this applies to relationships too. When you are attached or plain not interested, you are suddenly like the flame that attracts way too many moths. And mind you, these are moths you are talking about. Not butterflies.

Wonder why is that? Is that why all the single people are still single? Becuz they have to be attached first to attract the correct kind of person they want?
